President Donald Trump advised Congressional Republicans to move further to the right side of the political spectrum, noting that Democrats were moving further left.
“They have gone so far left, we have to go a little bit further right,” Trump told Republicans and donors at the National Republican Congressional Committee fundraising dinner on Tuesday night.
Trump remarked that Congressional Democrats were moving left on nearly every issue, just like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
“These days, there’s no such thing as a Blue Dog Democrat, a Red State Democrat, or a Conservative Democrat because they are all Pelosi Democrats,” he said, calling them “way outside of the American mainstream.”
Trump pointed out that since he won the presidency, House Democrats voted against border security, lower taxes, bans on late-term abortion, and developing American energy.
“They would take over American health care; take away your Second Amendment; and ship away your jobs to other countries, like has gone on for so many years,” he said. “And those days are over.”
Humans are naturally K. The slightest K-stimulus is enough to drive them extraordinarily K. By doing this, Trump will make Americans turn even more K-selected than the environment is turning them, and that will poison them against democrats.
What would be devastating is to not give Americans any K-push, and just acquiesce to that Overton window continuing to shift to the left, because in the unnatural absence of K-stimuli and any amygdala development, a lot of people will gravitate to the ease of r-selection. That is what the leadership of the Republican Party has done for the last fifty years, and you can see the result. A vehemently anti-communist nation is now basically debating how much Marxism to implement.
On the bright side if Trump triggers a massive K-shift, the left has gone so far to the left that it will leave them impossibly outside the mainstream, and wholly unable to compete for the new more conservative electorate.
Just a brilliant strategy, as that Misery Index rises, the Conservative Policy Mood skyrockets, and leftists are growing ever more demoralized.
Not that he needs it, but it will also help add to the Trumpslide after three more years of this, when he runs for reelection.
shame Trump just fukked himself big time. He is done now. Can’t hardly stand to read the news today with all the gloating. He will do well to stay out of prison now.
Yeah he left me speechless too…when he unilaterally banned bump stocks. A move which opens the doors for all kinds of nefarious lawyering about definitions of triggers and semi- autos etc…
The guy is a fucking sell-out
I’m absolutely infuriated over this betrayal. Unless Q is right and the sledgehammer comes down and does it soon, the GOP is dead, the rats will win back Congress, and they’ll bog him down for two years with investigations and possibly remove him.
I have zero faith that we can vote our way out of this. It’s impossible to get these fucks to cut one red cent or actually do what must be done to salvage the country.
It was a nice try, but our empire is no exception to the 250 year rule.
Yes, the omnibus he just (reluctantly) signed will surely drive us more K. Probably should make a stop by the coin store tomorrow…
There is a bright side though, before Ann Coulter collapses in a rage seizure.

If the USA is to have a dollar collapse (which we eventually will) we would need an arms buildup before that or else the country would be extremely vulnerable to outside (China) forces. The switch to a more “autarchic” economic model wouldn’t be so bad. Most GDP would be focused on agriculture/mining/energy, arms and manufacturing- with trade being conducted in gold, silver, cryptocurrency (maybe) and other items like computer parts or gasoline being more expensive commodities (unlike now when they are cheap). Vital services would be more limited though, with municipal bankruptcies dominating. We would be like a nicer, bigger (GDP/POP) version of Russia- with a better GDP per capita. Exports would probably increase too, and alot of the vibrants would leave. It would really suck for the welfarites though. They won’t be getting anything. That’s what a highly K America will look like.
He was outmanoeuvred, remember Q telling us a little while ago that:
“We went too deep. Attempted a pullback. Not ready”
Possible explanation: The military is behind Trump, the dems know this, they also know that the military wants more money (no changes there). So they made an offer to the military they could not refuse. And Trump was strong armed into playing nice.
I know people thought that was Q talking, but I got the impression that could have been a quote from somebody in the Cabal – that they went too deep with Obama and then Hillary, with all the pressure for taking over the Military/intel apparatus from the professionals, and importing the Muslims, and attacking citizens, and the nation was still too K, so they attempted to pull back and go more mainstream for a bit.
I dunno … I’m beginning to think that he’s just a touch contrarian so he says things like “we need to go more right” without really believing it or understanding what that means because he follows such a comment up with signing and not vetoing the Omnibus pork bill full of democrat wet dreams.
At this point, I think collapse is our only hope. :p
Comment on the spending bill: Trump is the spear point, he is not the spear. The spear decides where to go, Trump just takes the brunt.
He hints at the reason why: the military wants it.
